Abstract
Maine has applied to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for final authorization of revisions to its hazardous waste program under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), as amended. The EPA proposes to grant final authorization to Maine for these revisions by a direct final rule, which can be found in the "Rules and Regulations" section in this issue of the Federal Register. We have explained the reasons for this authorization in the preamble to the direct final rule. Unless EPA receives written comments that oppose this authorization during the comment period, the direct final rule will become effective on the date it establishes, and the EPA will not take further action on this proposed rule.

Maine: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste Management
Program Revisions
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Maine has applied to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
for final authorization of revisions to its hazardous waste program
under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), as amended.
The EPA proposes to grant final authorization to Maine for these
revisions by a direct final rule, which can be found in the ``Rules and
Regulations'' section in this issue of the Federal Register. We have
explained the reasons for this authorization in the preamble to the
direct final rule. Unless EPA receives written comments that oppose
this authorization during the comment period, the direct final rule
will become effective on the date it establishes, and the EPA will not
take further action on this proposed rule.
DATES: Send your written comments by November 2, 2022.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R01-
RCRA-2022-0421, at <a href="https://www.regulations.gov/">https://www.regulations.gov/</a>. Follow the online
instructions for submitting comments. Once submitted, comments cannot
be edited or removed from <a href="http://www.regulations.gov">www.regulations.gov</a>. The EPA may publish any
comment received to its public docket. Do not submit electronically any
information you consider to be Confidential Business Information (CBI)
or other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute.
Multimedia submissions (audio, video, etc.) must be accompanied by a
written comment. The written comment is considered the official comment

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section in
this issue of the Federal Register, the EPA is authorizing the
revisions by a direct final rule. The EPA did not make a proposal prior
to the direct final rule because we believe this action is not
controversial and do not expect comments that oppose it. We have
explained the reasons for this authorization in the preamble to the
direct final rule. Unless the EPA receives adverse written comments
that oppose this authorization during the comment period, the direct
final rule will become effective on the date it establishes, and the
EPA will not take further action on this proposal. If the EPA receives
comments that oppose this action, we will withdraw the direct final
rule and it will not take effect. The EPA will then respond to public
comments in a later final rule based on this proposal. You may not have
another opportunity for comment. If you want to comment on this action,
you should do so at this time. For additional information, please see
the direct final rule published in the ``Rules and Regulations''
section in this issue of the Federal Register.
Authority: This proposed action is issued under the authority of
sections 2002(a), 3006 and 7004(b) of the Solid Waste Disposal Act,
as amended, 42 U.S.C. 6912(a), 6926, 6974(b).
Dated: September 23, 2022.

Regional Administrator, U.S. EPA Region I.
